    This reminds me of the variously colored sulphur springs mostly in SE West Virigina. They’re not suburbs, but I’ve always thought it interesting:

    White Sulphur Springs
    Blue Sulphur Springs
    Red Sulphur Springs
    Green Sulphur Springs

    Those all have wikipedia pages. In addition there used to be a Gray Sulphur Springs resort in that area and a Yellow Sulphur Springs resort in nearby Virgina.
